TEHRAN – Immediately after the announcement of the nuclear deal between Iran and the great powers on Tuesday President Hassan Rouhani said that Iran sought four objectives in the nuclear talks and all of them have been achieved.

The first objective was to continue its nuclear activity, the second was to remove “wrong and cruel” sanctions, the third was to annul all the “illegal” the sanctions resolutions in the UN Security, and
the fourth was to remove Iran’s nuclear dossier from the agenda of UN Security Council, Rouhani said in a televised speech.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Rouhani stated that 12 years of illusions and disinformation about Iran’s nuclear activities came to an end and now a new chapter has been opened in Iran’s relations with the world.

He also said all through the process of nuclear talks Iran was insisting that a “win-lose” agreement will not last and that only a “win-win” agreement will be long lasting.

The president also said that under the nuclear agreement Iran will have six thousands centrifuges that five thousands of which will operate in the Natanz facility and more than a thousand in Fordo.

All the centrifuges in Natanz will continue enriching uranium and those in Fordo will be used for nuclear research and development, he explained.

Rouhani went on to say that all the sanctions, including arms embargo, will be removed on the day of implementing the agreement which will go into force about two months later.

He noted that the implementation of the agreement is reciprocal and Iran will be committed to the agreement if the other side lives up to its commitments.

The president went on to say that the main achievement of the talks is the establishment of a new atmosphere to expand international relations.
